Parrot Imitates Fire Alarm, Saves Family

I love stories like this. There ought to be (or maybe there already is) a website with nothing but heartwarming pet (PC: animal companion) stories.

Parrot Helps Save a Man and His Son From House Fire by Mocking Smoke Alarm, Bird's Owner Says

The Associated Press MUNCIE, Ind. Oct 23, 2007 (AP)

A noisy parrot that likes to imitate sounds helped save a man and his son from a house fire by mocking a smoke alarm, the bird's owner says.

Shannon Conwell, 33, said he and his 9-year-old son fell asleep on the couch while watching a movie. They awoke about 3 a.m. Friday to find their home on fire after hearing the family's Amazon parrot, Peanut, imitating a fire alarm.

"He was really screaming his head off," Conwell said.
